  Do you already own zasa.com?

  You can have Staff remove the domain mapping to the first URL and replace it with the second URL. I’ll tag this thread for Staff assistance. Please subscribe to the thread so you are notified when they respond and please be patient while waiting.

  Hi there,

  I’d be happy to help! I have the same question as timethief. Are you currently the owner of the domain: zasa.com? If you do, please go to your domain registrar’s site and log into the control panel. You will need to update the name servers as below:

  NS1.WORDPRESS.COM
  NS2.WORDPRESS.COM
  NS3.WORDPRESS.COM

  For more information, please visit the help documentation provided by the registrar and our support page:

  http://en.support.wordpress.com/domain-mapping/map-existing-domain/

  We can set zasa.com as your primary domain so that all your other domains point to zasa.com. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions!

  Thanks so much timethief, and gracejiyoung.

  No, I am not the owner of the domain, but I mean I would like it to be the new domain instead of the current one which is my real name itself and is a little bit long and it my name itself.

  I really appreciate the time you will give it to help

  If you are not the owner of the domain you want, you will have to become the owner before you can use it, obviously. When it becomes available, buy it.

  Hi there,

  As raincoaster mentioned, you would need to be the current owner of this domain in order to point the domain to your WordPress.com site.

  Here is the publicly available contact information of the new domain owner:

  http://who.wildwestdomains.com/WhoIs.aspx?prog_id=wildwestdomains&domain=zasa.com

  You could try contacting them to see if they will sell the domain to you. Please be sure to use a reputable online purchasing site for this transaction, if it happens.

  Or, you can purchase another available domain that would fit your needs. If you are able to think of one, you can register the domain directly through us. You can find more information about this here.

  Since zasa.com has been owned by an Architectural firm since 1997 I really doubt they would part with the name – they look like a firm with a world wide list of clients

  You can try different versions of your name or nickname – there are also other extensions that can be registered which might help ( .me is one)
